From History of Oxford, Me, p168:
"Mrs. Charity, wife of [Ebenezer] Cushman, was killed by a horse August 11. She was returning from a lecture on Paris Hill and drove into a shed to get out of the rain. The shed was too low for her to sit upon the seat as she drove in, and she seated herself in the bottom of the wagon, in front of the seat, having her umbrella in her hand. The horse was frightened and kicked, she receiving the blow in her head. She died instantly." [3]
